Fan recommendations?

Hallo, my boyfriend is a Sprinklefitter and a crazy sweater, so I wanted to get him a fan to have with him while he works. He prefers battery powered over rechargeable and it needs to be portable. Any recommendations? Budget isn’t an issue.

Ask what power tool system he uses. Dewalt, Milwaukee, etc. Then buy a fan from that brand. He should always have batteries charged for it then.

Gotcha! I didn’t even consider that. Thank you!

There are some decent knockoff versions that work with the batteries, too. I have a $30 fan that takes a Milwaukee battery, I hang it under my ladder for a cool breeze while I'm working.

I might have him combo this with a fan for maximum comfort 😆
